Raven (MSXdev'21)
Meet our hero: J-J ! To save the world from the evil Raven, J-J has to make sure the Raven stays in its cage or bad things will happen...
J-J can be controlled with the cursor keys or a joystick (in port I). J-J can only jump (up / down / left / right), and can throw objects by jumping into them.
Each round starts with the Raven in its cage, and a timed lock (counting down from 99 to 0) that keeps the cage shut. A round is completed when the timer is reset to 99 by setting all 12 tile-switches to black. Tiles change color by jumping on them. The player starts with 3 lives; extra lives will be added at 5,000 – 10,000 – 15,000 – 20,000 points
J-J will get killed when encountering the various animals on the platforms:
The player can earn points in different ways:
At the end of each round a bonus is awarded depending on the time left.
Each level has another optimal way to play
NEVER RELEASE THE RAVEN !
